I set up a care routine with the pet parent/guardian and leave about half of a drop-in for that, and the other half for play time! I also love to set aside extra time for grooming, especially for cats who love a good brushing.

Responsible and Reliable Cat Parent

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Lisa! I'm an avid animal lover and would love the opportunity to meet and keep a watchful eye over any furry household members! Though I love a good dog walk, my real joy is in cat sitting. I am the proud parent of two cats - and my approach to cat sitting is "How would I want someone to care for my cat kids?" I'll be just as obsessed with your cat as you are and will share daily reports of their shenanigans, a daily video, and at least 3 of the cutest pictures I took during our visit. For the more gregarious cat - I'll offer all the attention they could want, plus play time and engagement. For the less sure cat - I'll offer quiet assurance and interaction at their speed and direction.

She was so caring and kind to Watermelon. I had a problem with ants and she came up with a good solution of moving her food/water bowls. She even swept up around the litter box to keep her area clean. She sent videos and pictures daily (which were better than the ones I take). Gave me a daily report card and if they had activity time together. Once she left she would notify me so I could turn on my security. All in all, an excellent sitter and highly recommended. I would definitely use her in the future. Thanks Lisa!!!!

As soon as I knew I'd be traveling I called to rebook with Lisa. She's amazing with my cats! I highly recommend her! Great communication!

Lisa was incredible. I have four cats with a pretty specific routine, and she handled everything perfectly. She was thorough, reliable, and clearly took great care of them. She sent photos and videos throughout, which I really appreciated, and everything was clean and exactly how I left it when I got back. I felt completely at ease knowing she was coming in each day. I would 100 percent use her again.

I would tell you to book Lisa but I low key wanna be sure she's available. My boy cat loves her! Went to her for snuggles & everything. The girl is really new to the house so isn't social with anyone yet... but she still ate & used her litter box so clearly wasn't stressed by my absence/ Lisa's presence. Truly I highly recommend! Great communication... great pics... awesome attention to detail... really goes above & beyond!
